Or USOs / UFOs

Caution ye who tread here……

While it is obvious that UFOs that
enter or exit bodies of water must also navigate beneath it, it does not follow
that an object, known only to be totally submerged and given the label of
“Mysterious Unknown Underwater Object”, is not necessarily a UFO. The following
article from a newspaper illustrates the possibility of attributing too much to
the “Mysterious”. Following this paper report I will begin the List/Text of
articles ascribed to UFOs that are TOTALLY submerged. However – as in UFO
cases, if they are not seen visually or by sonar, or hopefully both, and do not
perform beyond the capabilities of modern craft, they should only be regarded
as mistaken objects that probably have a rational explanation. NO “BUMP” IN THE
WATER CAN MAKE A CLAIM OF AN “ET CRAFT”!

AS AN EXPAMPLE:04-22-1956Trawler Snags Atom Sub, Is Nearly Pulled to BottomGROTON, Conn. May 2 (UP). The
$55,000,000 atom powered submarine Nautilus narrowly escaped tragedy off the
New Jersey coast April 22 when it tangled with a net and nearly dragged a
little fishing trawler and its crew to the bottom of the Atlantic, the Navy
disclosed today.The Nautilus, the world’s first
example of nuclear-powered transportation, suffered only $1,300 damage to a
running light and a scratch on the superstructure, the Navy said.But while it was being repaired
here last Saturday, a small fire was started by a welder’s torch. The blaze
ignited cork insulation and burned paint from the hull. The Navy said damage
from the fire , the third to break out on the Nautilus, was slight.The captain of the trawler
estimated his damage also at $1,300---In fish and gear that was towed away by
the submarine, which apparently never surfaced after the mishap and continued
on it course to Groton with its crew unaware of the near tragedy.
THOUGHT IT WAS A SEA SERPENTTonnes Anderson, Point Pleasant
Beach, N.J., skipper of the 61-foot trawler Jennie, made his estimate last
Friday in telling of his strange encounter with what then was to him a
mysterious undersea object. One of his crew members thought it was a sea
serpent, but another said he believed it was a submarine. The size of his
crew was not disclosed.Anderson told Third Naval
District officials about the incident. He said it occurred while he was
dragging for fluke about 140 miles southeast of New York in 60 fathoms of water
on Sunday, April 22.Engineer Shirley Friend said the
Jennie suddenly lurched to a halt and then was drawn backward. The winch cable
to the fishing net became taut, he said, and the stern of the vessel began to
sink. The deck was level with the water, he said, when the cable suddenly
snapped.Naval officials investigated the
story and the mystery finally was solved today by Commander John Dudley, flag
secretary for the commander of submarine forces of the Atlantic Fleet.This reference: The Wilmington Morning News, Wilmington, DE, May 3, 1956,
